Bab 75: His Smile

*Inside Palace's tearoom*

"I am really disappointed that you still haven't told your daughter" said the Emperor as he sulked.

"How many times more should I apologize? We were going to talk to her after the banquet" Duke Niam excused. The Emperor looked at him briefly and continued to sulk, making the Duke sigh.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. They will talk to her today. Now please let's go and join the others. Everyone will question your absence" Duke Romet tried to reason with emperor but it was to no avail.

Duke Niam messaged his temple, "I promise, okay. I'll talk to her today but Your Highness, Let me make this clear that I will never force my daughter to do something she doesn't want to" 

The Emperor nodded, "Yes. That was our agreement but! If she agrees, you will not butt in! And! You will not manipulate her. Swear on your loyalty" he stood up.

"Yes, yes. I swear" Duke Niam said, half-heartedly. 

"Say it properly" The Emperor said.
